Dexter: Season 8

"Insight into his past would be a nice place to explore while the Morgan family sort out their new roles."

"While it didn't, let's say, add up to nothing like Season 6 did, it gave fans a ton of stuff that no one wanted, including plot points and revelations that weren't just unsatisfying, but intolerable."

"The past few seasons of Dexter haven't lived up to the beginning of the series, but by the looks of the premiere, this season will wrap everything up in a way that will satisfy fans."

"Dexter is gone, put down after eight seasons (three of which were too many) by masters that finally realized that old age wasn't doing this wheezy, arthritic dog any favors."

"Dexter has been on the wane for years now, but even those who stuck it out this long will have a hard time stomaching the killer's last hurrah."

"Dexter - and Deb, and all of us - deserved better."

"The show cannot have its title character portrayed in anything other than shades of brilliant white. What was once a horror program became farce."

"At this point, the only people still watching are life-hating masochists like me who grimly cling on to each new arid, inert, incident-free episode just because they've already sat through seven and a half godforsaken years of this tripe."

"The ending was uncharacteristically tame."
